[ l o l
POOR SHRIKE. ]

Do you want me to text him?

And, sure, I don't want to make him uncomfortable either.

Sssssorry, I'm just... nervous.

I can text him right now if you like. We can do it together.

S-sure, that sounds. Good.

[ she takes out her phone and shoots nero a text, showing it to shrike shortly after she's sent it. ]

[ wheeze

well, time to wait... ]

In the meantime do you want to go to the mall and see if we can't find some new clothes?

Ohh, er—yyyyeah, we definitely... we definitely could. That—that sounds fun?

[ she calls out her aibou, and it's a dragon-viper-bee, and she grabs shrike's wrist and after she climbs aboard she tries to tug her onto it too. ]

I can get us there in no time at all!

Oh, well—sure, then!

[ she climbs up, and sits, gingerly. she is ok at riding but this is... new. ]

[ this is going to be one heck of a different kind of ride. the serpent lets out a trill as it hurries off to the mall, flying at a reasonable pace. ]

[ weirdly it actually bothers her less to be on a living creature as vehicle, although she seems like she's trying to figure out if she should be sitting astride or sidesaddle or what the whole time ]

That was—phew. That really is faster?

[ it's kind of awkward, because snakething, but it's a lot faster, because she doesn't have to follow the roads and can, instead, just fly right over everything. ]

Isn't he the best? [ she strokes his head and that results in another cute little trill. ]

Well done, friend.

[ she sort of... pats him like she would a horse.

close enough. ]

[ CLOSE ENOUGH. ]

Ever been lingerie shopping before?

...just a little. Not in—

[ gestures ]

Not really... in person. Nothing that, er... exciting.

Lingerie shopping isn't all the fun, since you can't try things on, but that's what makes the mall a blast... probably! Just getting to try stuff on in general and helping each other find something ~sexy~

Ahaha... I guess so.

...I just don't really know what... sort of thing to pick out, so help is... good.

[ starts heading inside. ] Basically anything that’s going to accentuate your assets~

My... assets.

[ sort of... looks down at herself.

what ARE her assets anyway. listen she comes from a land... with very different gender roles ]

Like... muscles, or...

Mm! It could be! There’s a lot of different things to love about the body. Like you could probably get something that shows off your legs, since you’re so tall. And definitely your muscles!

I... I guess.

Sorry, I'm—just not really used to this. I mean—it was never really expected of me, I guess, so I'm not as used to people looking at me that way...

No need to apologize. But getting to see yourself in a new way can be pretty interesting too. [ and to the floor with all the sexy lingerie they go. ] Man oh man~ [ giggles. ] I definitely want something a little over the top. Do you want something, like, with some avante flair? That could be pretty hot !

Maybe...? I guess if we see something good. I don't know how I feel about something really out there, but...

...I guess it can't hurt to try it?

Not at all. Do you think we should match? It could be cute.

[ chuckles and starts looking through the lingerie as soon as they get there, immediately returning with something. ] How about this!
